The Festival of Quilts 2023 - Competition

The Festival of Quilts aims to promote and encourage all aspects of patchwork, quilting and applique to enable quiltmakers at all levels to exhibit their work. 

As such, the competitions are an integral part of the event and we expect to receive over 800 entries this year. There are 18 different categories to cover a range of quilting styles, including categories for schools and young people. Visit the Categories page for a full list. 

We aim to hang and judge every entry, making The Festival of Quilts the biggest celebration of quilting in the world, with over 1200 quilts on display. 

There is a total prize pool of over £35,000 to be won every year; another great incentive to enter your work!
